Westbrook was never one of my favorite players during most of his prime, but seeing how Westbrook has handled his last few years helped me gain a lot of respect for him.

Sure he never was the lead guy on a championship team, but his competitiveness is amazing. He played his best through all the Lakers drama. Westbrook also put up 37 in a playoff game in the most recent playoffs. I'm quite a huge fan of this late-career Westbrook.

Kobe - when I first started following the NBA as a kid, Kobe was the player I liked to root against. Near the end of his career I had nothing but love for him.

Russ has literally done nothing different than age and be less good.

Lol.

His game has always been the same.

Not that I'm ever mad at that. HOF career.

He has always played losing basketball

I like Russ but sometimes he goes full Karen at fans (not for saying anything horrible either) which I think is valid if it turns some people off

Russ goes full Karen at fans sometimes. Goes full Karen at reporters most times. Went delusional about his capabilities and fit that first Lakers year.

He's been good over his career. But didn't grow his game as much as his body. He exceeded projections I'd say. But he needed to add more to his game

No doubt he exceeded projections

Didn't think anyone on that scouting report was ever going to realize that the guy they drafted was going to shatter the triple double record and win a MVP in that fashion
